Nike's Colin Kaepernick-narrated "Dream Crazy" ad has been nominated for a 2019 Emmy Award for outstanding commercial.

The ad, which was released in September, commemorates the 30th anniversary of Nike's "Just Do It" campaign and includes footage of LeBron James, Serena Williams, the United States women's national soccer team, and other athletes. Nike saw its online sales increase by 31 percent in the days after it unveiled its campaign with Kaepernick.

The Emmy Awards will air Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
